rebirth of cataclysm

The next day, with the help of Hu Yandie, Hu Mingchen took all the cards to school. But this time he only brought a few into the classroom, and the rest were placed in the rented cabin. .

Since then, this cabin has become the origin base of Hu Mingchen's business.

In the next few days, Hu Mingchen used his time at school to sell cards, and went to a rented cabin at noon to sell cards. His three good friends Luo Zhizheng, Mao Feng and Gu Xiaoqi helped him a lot. Playing card games while encouraging people to buy from Hu Mingchen.

Despite this, Hu Mingchen's card business is still tepid. Although it is not good, he can still sell a few every day, and it is no problem to earn more than ten yuan. But it is not bad, at least it does not appear like that. The rush to buy is overwhelming.

Fortunately, on Friday, Hu Mingchen still bought 7,788 on his card.

On Saturday, Hu Mingchen went to the city again to purchase goods.

Hu Jianqiang didn't come back this week, so Hu Mingchen went out alone.

Fortunately, Hu Mingchen's Sanniang took the early morning bus on Saturday, so Hu Mingchen could take her car there and come back in the afternoon.

"Xiaochen, you went to the city to buy goods for business? Did I hear you correctly?" Hu Mingchen wanted to take a car into the city, so he naturally had to give his Sanniang Hu Youling an explanation and reason, but Hu Youling reacted a little bit after hearing this.

Let alone Hu Youling, no matter who listened, it would be impossible to remain calm.

"Sanniang, you heard me right. I have been doing this for a week. Last week, my third uncle accompanied me to the city. Now that the goods are sold out, I naturally need to go to the city to replenish the goods. I will take your car back in the afternoon. Hu Mingchen said with a smile.

"You...what kind of business are you doing? Didn't you lose money?" Hu Youling felt a little incredible.

"Of course I didn't lose anything. If I did, why should I make up for it? I made a little profit, hehe."

"Okay...it's awesome. Then you can take this bus. If the seats are sold out in a while, you can sit in my seat. If the seats are not sold out, you can just find a place to sit. There is no need to buy a ticket."

"If I don't buy a ticket, will your boss have any ideas or opinions? Otherwise, I'd better buy a ticket." Hu Mingchen tried to ask.

Even if he has no more money, Hu Mingchen does not want to cause trouble to Sanniang. If he embarrasses her because of a few dollars, Hu Mingchen feels that it is not worth it.

"It's okay, it's okay. This little thing won't affect you. You can sit on my seat in front of me for a while. By the way, is there any news about your parents?"

Hu Mingchen seemed worried and lost when he mentioned the news about his parents. There has been no news, which is always a very worrying thing. The three sisters of Hu Mingchen's family are always worried about them.

No matter how concerned he was, there was nothing he could do. The distance was too far and it would be difficult to inquire. Hu Mingchen would not be able to chase him, and even if he did, he would have difficulty finding the place.

"Not yet. Before I left, I asked my mother to send a message no matter what, but there is still no news." Hu Mingchen said in a low voice.

"You don't have to worry too much. We haven't heard back yet, so I'm not sure the situation will be too bad. I'll ask someone today and tomorrow," Hu Youling said with relief.

Hu Youling is also worried about this issue. After all, Hu Jianjun is her second brother.

Hu Mingchen made some money, but he did not share it with Hu Yandie. He took it all with him this time. He planned to buy more goods this time.

The capital is not much in the first place, but if part of it is allocated, it will affect the purchase and profits.

"Young man, you're here again, how do you feel? Are all the goods you brought last time sold out?"

After getting off the bus at Liangcheng Bus Station, Hu Mingchen did not ask Hu Youling to accompany him, but chose to go to the wholesale market by himself. The boss who picked up the goods last time greeted Hu Mingchen enthusiastically from the store when he saw him.

It is so rare for a small wholesaler like Hu Mingchen not to leave a deep impression on him, so the boss recognized Hu Mingchen at a glance.

"Yeah, the sales are about the same, so I'm going to buy some more goods. Boss, we are honest people. I said I would come to your place in the future. I didn't go to other places."

"Yes, yes, yes, come in and have a glass of water first. It's a bit hot today. I'm happy if you can use it to sell it. Come on, sit down first." The boss invited Hu Mingchen to sit at a small table in the back.

Come down.

Hu Mingchen was indeed a little thirsty. He had not drank water since he got in the car. Hu Mingchen readily accepted the boss's enthusiasm.

After drinking water and chatting for a few minutes, Hu Mingchen learned that the boss's surname was Wang, and his name was Wang Zhan. He was from another province. He had only been in Liangcheng for more than ten years and his local dialect was quite authentic.

"Xiao Hu, how many goods do you plan to get this time? Some goods have just arrived." Hu Mingchen found out that his name was Wang Zhan, so he naturally knew his name.

"Boss Wang, last time I remember you said there was a three-cent paper card, but I wasn't..."

"Hahaha, if you didn't tell me, I almost forgot. You asked me to get you some samples, and I brought them. Wait a moment, and I will turn them out for you to see." Before Hu Mingchen finished speaking, Wang Zhan

Then I knew what he meant.

Wang Zhan turned around and quickly dug out twenty or thirty small cards from an old cardboard box and placed them in front of Hu Mingchen.

"Look, this is it. In the past few years, this kind of product was quite popular. However, in the past two years, there have been fewer people buying it in the city."

Hu Mingchen picked up the cards and looked at them in his palm.

This kind of card is indeed worse than the ones he took before. Not to mention the pattern is more blurred, and the hardness is very soft, almost the same as an ordinary document bag. Because of this, the price is three cents a piece.

"Boss Wang, this kind of card looks very boring."

"Yes, it is indeed a lot monotonous. It is just a little doll fanned on the ground. You win mine and I win yours. Other than that, it has no other functions." Wang Zhan said.

"Boss Wang, is the price only three cents?" Hu Mingchen asked thoughtfully.

"To tell you the truth, the manufacturer gave me two cents per piece. If people don't do this now, the profit is too thin. We only make a few cents after selling a hundred pieces, so we don't like to sell it. Manufacturers who do this

The response gradually became less and less." Wang Zhan said with a frown.

"Boss Wang, thank you for telling me the truth. Do you think this will work? You give me two and a half, and you make four cents." Hu Mingchen thought for a while and said.

"It's four cents... Do you want to take this? Let me tell you, there's nothing interesting about this, you can't make much money. It's not easy to sell, there aren't many kids playing with it now.

Moreover, if the quantity is small, manufacturers may not be willing to do it." Wang Zhan didn't seem very happy.

No wonder Wang Zhan has such an attitude. Even if Hu Mingchen takes one thousand tickets, his profit will only be four yuan, and two thousand tickets will only be eight yuan. It is indeed a thankless job.

The most basic thing for a businessman is to maximize profits. Although Wang Zhan's business is not big, it is indeed difficult to impress him with a profit of a few dollars.

"Boss Wang, if you think it's okay, I'll ask for 5,000 tickets next time. How about that? This time, I'll take the ones from before." In order to prevent Wang Zhan from giving up, Hu Mingchen said through gritted teeth.

"Five thousand sheets? Do you want to get five thousand sheets next time? It's hard to sell five thousand sheets." Wang Zhan was a little surprised when he heard the number of five thousand.

"It doesn't matter, I'm willing to bet, just five thousand tickets, but I don't have enough capital, otherwise I can ask for ten thousand tickets. How about, if you agree, I will give you a deposit, which can be regarded as helping me.

." Hu Mingchen said solemnly and resolutely.

Hu Mingchen was really gambling, and it was a risk-taking gamble.

The cards I took before were good, but for the consumption level of Duge Township, the price was indeed high, which made Hu Mingchen's daily sales very limited.

This kind of low-quality card is bad, but the advantage is that it is cheap. If Hu Mingchen sold it for five cents a piece, almost everyone could afford it.

Another point is that the function of this kind of card is to win. Hu Mingchen knows the temperament of children very well. If it has a little bit of gambling color, it may be more attractive to children. If someone loses, then

They will find ways to buy new ones to win back lost ones, just like playing marbles. Not to mention some boys will buy dozens of them, and even some girls will be brought in.

Hu Mingchen bets that by using these cheap and low-priced cards, he can create a trend of new ways of playing and new entertainment among children in Duge Township. As long as this trend takes off, let alone 5,000, it will be 50,000.

Not a problem either.

"Are you sure you want to take at least 5,000 cards at a time? Do you really want to buy such low-priced and low-quality cards?"

"I'm sure." Hu Mingchen nodded firmly.

"Okay, then I will talk to the manufacturer and ask them to make a batch for you. You can just give me a deposit of ten yuan in a while." Wang Zhan calculated and found that five thousand sheets would make at least twenty yuan, and

, what he valued more was Hu Mingchen’s courage, so he decided to help him.

"Boss Wang, let me say one more thing. I hope you will not sell the card I want to anyone else. Even if you sell it, the price cannot be lower than 3.5 cents." After Wang Zhan agreed, Hu Mingchen pondered for a moment.

Added one sentence.

"Why?" Wang Zhan was very curious about Hu Mingchen's request.

"I can't say it for the time being. You will know it later. Anyway, you have to promise me." Hu Mingchen pretended to be mysterious and did not explain.

"Okay, I promise you, except for you, almost no one else would do this." Wang Zhan didn't understand what Hu Mingchen was thinking, but he readily agreed to him.

After making an agreement with Wang Zhan and asking for his store's phone number, Hu Mingchen began to choose the goods he wanted to get this time.

There are still very few private telephones in Duge Township, but there are two or three shops on the street with public telephones. Hu Mingchen can use the public telephones to contact Wang Zhan.

In addition to the ten yuan deposit given to Wang Zhan, Hu Mingchen received more than 600 pieces of goods this time.
